ABILENE -- The Abilene High girls soccer team scored three first half goals and overwhelmed Lee in a 3-1 victory at Shotwell Stadium on Saturday.

The Lady Eagles' Jordan Lara scored in the 11th minute, then Brittany Wilson added a goal in the 20th minute and Erika Rodriguez completed the scoring with a goal in the 26th minute.

Lee's lone goal came from Erin Cumbest on an assist from Sammie Stewart on a corner kick.

With the loss, the Lady Rebels finish the season at 11-10-0 overall and 4-6-0-2 with 14 points in District 3-5A. Abilene High's victory moved it in third place in District 3-5A at 15-8-0 overall and 6-4-1-1 with 21 points in district play.

"In the first half it was pretty sloppy and lackadaisical, and Abilene High just buried us," Lee coach Brian Pollard said. "We gave them too many good looks at the goal. I think we gave up one shot on goal in the second half, and we scored quickly but much like we've done this year it was too little too late."

The Lady Eagles will play a yet to be determined District 4-5A opponent in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs on April 2 or 3.
